I treated myself to an iphone today. This picture of a finished cupcake was taken on the phone and I think it’s as good as my little Canon camera. The cupcake is decorated with buttons and some vintage ricrac. I also made a little cupcake pin as my swap partner loves cupcakes. We went into…

Day 9
I was catching up on my google reader and saw that allsorts had bought some items from Decorative County Living. They reminded me of these little pieces that I picked up at the Knitting and Stitching Show at Ally Pally last month (I can’t remember the name of the stand I bought them from!). These…
Day 8
My Stanley looks nothing like the picture. I may have to have another go.
Day 7
Yay, today I won a lovely pumpkin pin on a giveaway from sewSpun. I love the colour and aspire to make something like this one day. I popped into a new Christmas shop which has opened on Marylebone High Street at lunch time today. I got some great inspiration for the handmade ornament swap –…

Day Three
Ooops, I didn’t have time to post yesterday. I was too tired to to do anything after work last night except watch Ugly Betty! Today my mum visited us on a day trip from the Isle of Wight (thanks mum!). We went for lunch at a great gastro-pub in Winchmore Hill and she helped me…
